The next group began to draw water with buckets, and after the buckets of well water were fetched, they poured water on the city wall. When the snow is falling, the dripping water turns into ice, and the water is poured on it, and it freezes in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry up and get to work!" The sheep noodle soup in the stomach of the steward Jun Cao also brought his spirit back a little, put his hands into the clothes that were not too thick, and shouted in his throat: "After returning from work, it is said that there are quilts, charcoal fires and wine, as long as you don't call at night, you can sleep comfortably!" ”

There are pigeons flying out of the city all the time, and there are pieces of information in the bamboo tubes tied to their feet. Originally, the Han calendar was written in a very short and condensed manner, and this information is even more so.

"Zhang Yi abandoned the city, Changping killed, and the corpse was on the city."

"Changping supplies military supplies, and the army and civilians swear to defend the city." ……

The county lord's mansion is in the city, and the north and south gates are surrounded by the Hun army, so Xining still decided to live in the county lord's mansion, the soldiers are divided into two roads, the north gate is guarded by Xunliao Town, and the south gate is guarded by Zhou Changjiao, the magistrate of Linyi County, and a staff general.

The county lord's mansion was busy, and Xining kept approving the bamboo slips with the materials written on them. Cotton clothes and trousers, large quilts, charcoal spirits, food and medicine, bamboo felt...... To sustain an army of more than four thousand people, a lot of supplies were needed. The large amount of goods stored is finally ready for use.

"Report~" The herald ran in from outside the door and saluted: "Qiyu County Lord, the Huns sent someone to deliver the message." ”

The north and south cities need to be ventilated, and Xunliao left two heralds for the county lord's mansion, so that when there is an incident, it can be communicated immediately.

"Biography!" Xining is still busy.

After a while, I heard a voice, and then I looked up.

"Meet the princess of Changping County!" The envoy who came this time did not dare to make a mistake, respectfully held his hand on his chest, and performed the Hun salute. Originally, that guy said that he had an injury on his mouth, and he couldn't talk well, so he couldn't go. And so it fell to him. Resentment!

Seeing that the county lord looked at himself without saying a word, the envoy hurriedly handed over the bamboo slip with both hands: "This is the reply from the fourth prince." ”

Jing'er stepped forward, took the bamboo slip, and respectfully handed it over.

Xining took it and looked at it and smiled: "I'm hungry, I'm cold, and I'm helpless." ”

This word is less than hers, and it is very shameless. You are hungry and cold, and you don't think of a way for yourself, but you become a robber and attack the city.

Xining picked up the bamboo slip, and wrote it all over the front, and wrote it on the back. After thinking about it, I wrote it......

After the messenger left, a new military intelligence came.

This time the Huns were divided into three routes, 20,000 Yanmen soldiers, 20,000 Ningwu soldiers, and 15,000 Linguan. And the other tribes of the Xiongnu, who had gathered an army of 100,000, were coming.

It is estimated that there will be about 50,000 soldiers and horses heading to Linyi County, and it will take about 15 days to arrive.

The officials and officials of Linyi County, the small soldiers guarding the city gate, plus the current 4,500 remnants, are only 5,000 people. 5,000 versus 65,000 people, the disparity in strength is too great.

Xining looked at the big picture in front of him, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Give me two of those pigeons you raised, and I will send a letter to you!" ”

There was silence inside and outside the house at first, and after a while, someone spoke: "County Lord, please speak." ”

Both open and covert, they all know it in their hearts. The county owner never tracked down or questioned who they were, and the loft never checked. It's not that I don't know, it's not that I can't manage it. Really wiped out the loft, and they had to find another way, where is it so smooth and easy now.

In the capital court, the ministers asked for reinforcements.

Some people suggested that the troops should also be divided into three routes, but many more suggested concentrating their forces to Yanmen and Ningwu.

Because after Linyi County passed, there were still more than a dozen cities of all sizes before they could reach the capital. And once Yanmen and Wuning are lost, it is equivalent to the gate being opened, and the back is flat.

Some opponents immediately retorted, the defenders plus the people, there are only six or seven thousand people, how can they stop sixty or seventy thousand Hun soldiers?

What's more, the county lord of Changping is there, in case the city is lost, the county lord of Changping will lose the national body if he is captured. If he is martyred, how will he face the king of Qinling and the ancestors after his death?

When the quarrel was almost over, King Han finally spoke: "There is a letter from Linyi County here, read it." ”

The court immediately quieted down, and the big chamberlain opened the bamboo slip and read it out: "The princess of Changping County is in person: Your Majesty can rest assured, Linyi County will defend March." ”

The most likely Xiongnu this time is to grab something to go home for the winter, after three months, spring back to the earth, the snow melts, the grass grows, the cattle and sheep begin to breed, and a hair. Go back to grazing!

Liu Biao immediately knelt down, and the old man burst into tears: "The county lord of Changning is really benevolent and righteous, and the old minister can't worry about the king, so he is really ashamed in comparison." Please Your Majesty send troops to reinforce the two passes of Yanmen and Wuning, if the county lord of Changning is unexpected, the old minister is willing to go in person, wear linen and filial piety, and support the coffin to take it back. ”

"The minister seconded, the minister seconded!" The ministers knelt down one after another.

The king of Han said in a majestic voice: "There are many snow disasters in Hannai, and there is a shortage of troops. The county lord of Changning understands the reason, and he is willing to turn the tide and defend the city with his own strength. The county lord of Changping is now ordered to dispose of the original garrison of Linguan with full authority, and then add a reward afterwards. ”

Then he ordered the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the left vanguard, and the right vanguard. The 200,000 troops that can be mobilized now will be divided into two routes, and they will go to Yanmen and Ningwu on the same day to recruit the Xiongnu invaders.

After learning the news, Xining let out a long sigh. It seems that there will be no reinforcements to Linyi, and if she wants reinforcements, she will send troops no matter what she says. Since we don't send troops, we just have to bite the bullet. If you really can't keep it, after death, you may be able to seal a bigger title such as a princess who protects the country and go down in the history of the Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as adding glory to the master.

On the other side of the Hun tent, Uvida took the bamboo slip to look at.

This character should have been written by her herself, and it was different from the previous one. The previous words were vague and floating, and it was obvious that his heart was unstable.

The current word, although juanxiu, can be decisive, like her character.

It reads: "Frozen cattle and sheep are edible, why are they hungry?" Give bamboo roots, 50 felts, and build a greenhouse. 100 catties of carbon, raw charcoal for heating, to ventilate. If you still want, freeze the beef and mutton in exchange. ”

The envoy swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect the county lord to do this: "Long bamboo, felt, and charcoal have all been delivered, and the people outside are urging us to return the ox cart." ”

Uvida thought for a moment: "Go out and say, let's borrow the car first." It will be returned when the time comes! You're welcome. ”

After all, it's to send something to them, of course, be polite. And there were people in the tent who went out to send the cart drivers.

The staff saw Uvida sitting there silent, and even for a while while eating, he was silent, as if he was preoccupied. So he asked tentatively: "Does Your Highness plan to fight or not?" ”

Uvida cut off a piece of meat with a knife, picked it up with the tip of the knife and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and responded after a while: "Wait for the news of the Great Khan." ”

It's not up to him to decide whether to fight or not, let's talk about it first.

Then he said, "Send the things, immediately set up a shed, and drive the animals that are not dead into it." Someone should watch when you make a charcoal fire. Choose the frozen cattle and sheep to be strong, and transport them as a gift. ”

The weather is too cold, even if the adult cattle and sheep are frozen to death, nearly half of the cattle and sheep should be frozen to death at this time.

"Yes!" The staff went out to make arrangements.
